Baby Tooth Decay, Causes, Signs And Prevention by Mariovictony(m): 10:47am On Feb 19, 2018
Tooth Decay in infants and every young children is often referred to as 'baby bottle tooth decay'. Baby tooth decay usually occurs on the front teeth, or ‘incisors’. Cavities, or “caries,” and this happens when sweetened liquids or those with natural sugars (like milk, formula, and fruit juice) cling to an infant's teeth for a long time. Bacteria in the mouth thrive on this sugar and make acids that attack the teeth.

This tooth decay can also be called:

infant caries
early childhood caries (ECC)
bottle mouth

As a parent, you hold the keys needed to help prevent infant caries. Proper dental hygiene and cleanings are essential. Learn how to keep your baby’s teeth clean and free of cavities in their early years, as well as how to teach self-care techniques as your child grows older.
